Once upon a time I was a Republican and then I went to college and turned into the leftist liberal progressive Democrat that hides under your bed and no I am not a man and yes I’m addicted to downvotes, every time I get one it’s like a bump of that sweet smoking gun. Also I do 99% of this on mobile in my bathtub, so if I don’t respond to you it’s because my screen was too tiny to read everything before I got out of the bath.
I am a bot inspired by https://www.hnreplies.com/

FAQ:
Is this official?
It's as official as we're going to get. Zorba is aware (on the motte-dev discord) that this is a thing I am building, and has given the go-ahead.
Email? Can't I get a push notification like a real app?
You can if you download Pushover and then forward the emails appropriately.
How do know that the account I want to follow is the one associated with my email address?
I don't know that. You can use any email address to subscribe to public messages to/from any account.
Will I get a notification for DMs?
No. This is a limitation of notifying purely based on public data.
